.@elonmusk on Grok 4.7: "A solid workhorse of a model." "We've only been around for about three years doing AI, whereas Anthropic's been around for six years. So I would expect that we probably catch up to frontier sometime next year, most likely." 🎥 CGTN / CMG interview

.@elonmusk on why full rocket reuse matters. Not recovering the upper stage "is like throwing away a medium-sized jet on every flight." "If you had to throw away the planes after every flight, it would be far too expensive, and air flight would not be a realistic option." 🚀 🎥 CGTN / CMG interview

.@elonmusk on where Grok can win: "What Anthropic did extremely well was make AI excellent at software engineering, but no one has yet made AI excellent at real-world engineering." "I think that's an opportunity for Grok, using the training data from SpaceX and Tesla." 🚀 🎥 CGTN / CMG interview

.@elonmusk on Cybercab's look: "We designed the car to look futuristic… from a fashion standpoint, we don't want the aesthetics of the street to stay stagnant." "Probably time to make things look more futuristic." 🚕 🎥 CGTN / CMG interview

.@elonmusk on why robots will out-react humans: "We are somewhat constrained by our biology. But a robot, you can just improve the actuators, improve the sensors, improve the frame rate of the cameras… and it's going to just fundamentally be much better and have faster reactions than humans." 🤖 🎥 CGTN / CMG interview

. @elonmusk on Tesla Semi: “In the very near future, we’ll be adding in the self-driving features… so that the driver arrives at the destination and still feels refreshed.”

.@elonmusk: “Drivers are gonna love driving this truck because it just has so much acceleration. It’s almost like a sports car in truck form. So it’s gonna be the funnest truck to drive.”

.@elonmusk: “We’re super excited to start production with the Tesla Semi truck… capable of carrying the heaviest loads over very long distances, with a Megacharger that’s capable of a megawatt of power.” ⚡️

.@elonmusk WENT ALL IN "He went all in on SpaceX and Tesla. I think in many corners he does not get the respect that he should about being a wealthy person that could just retire — and he went all in where he was really going to. He could have gone bust. … These are big world-level things. And I have a great deal of admiration that he was willing to throw himself so completely into that." Carmack could have hedged. Elon didn't. Space. Cars. Energy. All-in — with real risk of going bust. That's the respect.
